Los Angeles (October 12, 2008) Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiaos dreams came true this week as they stormed the country from coast to coast to announce their upcoming December 6th mega-fight appropriately titled The Dream Match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and live on HBO Pay-Per-View.. The Dream Tour tour kicked-off in New York at the Statue of Liberty on October 1st and continued west to the Sears Tower in Chicago, Space Center Houston, the San Antonio Alamo, the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge and finally Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles, blocks away from De La Hoyas birthplace. While each stop was unique in and of itself, the common theme throughout the tour continually focused on the dreams of the fighters and the dreams of those that made those historic landmarks possible, and the December 6th Dream Match between the two fighters. Over half of the stops were open to the public, and the response was overwhelming. Hundreds of fans of all ages attended the press conferences, proving to the fighters that they do not only represent themselves, but their countries as well. Pacquiaos Filipino pride and De La Hoyas Mexican American roots serve as motivating factors for each fighter respectively to deliver a win to their devoted supporters around the world. De La Hoya and Pacquiao took time out of their grueling tour schedules to take photos and sign autographs at each stop of the tour in an amazing out pour of their own fan appreciation. Now that the tour has come to a close, it is time for Pacquiao and De La Hoya to focus and prepare for one of the biggest fights in boxing history. Promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank, Inc. presented by Tequila Cazadores, and sponsored by Cerveza Tecate, DeWalt Tools, Full Throttle Energy Drink and Southwest Airlines. De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao, a 12-round welterweight battle, will take place Saturday, Dec. 6 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nev. The fight will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per View, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. For De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao fight week updates, log on to www.hbo.com. Please see the below summaries and quotes from the various stops on the De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao press tour: DE LA HOYA VS. PACQUIAO NEW YORK PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES THE STATUE OF LIBERTY Thursday October 2, 2008 History was made on Wednesday October 1st as Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao stood at the base of the Statue of Liberty and announced the December 6th The Dream Match. The first ever press conference held at on Liberty Island was a success from the second the reserved media ferry departed from Battery Park. As the fighters arrived on the Island, they were overcome with the meaningful start to their dream tour around the country. A son of Mexican immigrants and a fighter from the Philippines standing together in the place by which millions of people entered America was truly a sight to behold. De La Hoya quipped Being here is the best feeling in the world. It is a blessing and an honor. Oscar De La Hoya Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, when I look at the Statue of Liberty, I feel proud to be American. I feel proud knowing that I am American. It is a privilege to be standing here with our Lady. My family came from Mexico as Mexican immigrants. I was very honored and still am to be born in this country. Who thought that a kid from East Los Angeles can go on and win the Gold Medal and be an example of hope for a lot of people? This is one of the greatest moments of my career. When I stood on the podium at the Olympics with the Gold Medal around my neck listening to the National Anthem, it was a great feeling. Being here is by far the best feeling. It is a blessing and an honor. When I read reports from Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao, it is an instant threat. I feel challenged. Every top athlete looks for that challenge to motivate them. I need this event to get into the mountains and isolate myself for three months. It is a huge challenge for me. I have to prove to myself that I can still do this. We are both going to be in tremendous shape. I know the abilities of Manny Pacquiao. The heart that he has and the fire that he has is a big threat to me. Be ready for a long fun fight. The reason I say fun is because with Manny Pacquiao, there is no boring fight. For me, it will be an honor to be with you (to Pacquiao). I hope the fight on December 6 can distract us to be with friends and family. We will forget about the economy and the problems for one night to come together and enjoy a classic fight. Manny Pacquiao I know you are excited, but there is no one who is more excited than me. Some people are saying I only took this fight for money. On December 6, I will prove you wrong. It will be a great boxing match, you have seen my previous match and you know how Manny Pacquiao fights. Fighting Oscar de la Hoya is a great honor and a privilege and I can assure you that I am fighting to give glory and honor to my country. Thank you to all of the fans. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love New York. Richard Schaefer, CEO Golden Boy Promotions Today marks the start of our press tour, or should I say Dream Tour, for the Dec 6th showdown between Oscar de la Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. This press tour, just like the name of the fight is all about dreams, starting right here at the Statue of Liberty. It is mind blowing that we are here. It really is an amazing event to start the tour. From here, we are going to Chicago to the Sears Tower, the tallest building in the United States. Many people had dreams as the sailed past the Statue of Liberty, just as they had dreams when they built the largest building. From Sears Tower we are going to the Space Center Houston. Many dreams have been fulfilled there as well. From Houston we continue on to San Antonio at the Alamo where people fought for their dreams of freedom and independence. Then we are going to go to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, a bridge which is connecting people, just like these two fighters will on December 6th. Then we are going to end up in East Los Angeles and it is where dreams are made for Oscar de la Hoya. These two fighters will do their best to give us a great night of boxing to all the fight fans around the world. Records are meant to be broken and we have the two most exciting fighters in the world today. Will it be the younger, faster Pacquiao or the Golden Boy of boxing De La Hoya? Find out on December 6, you wont want to miss this fight. Bob Arum, Chairman of the Board, Top Rank Inc. This is truly a dream match. Oscar de la Hoyathe most famous fighter in the world and Manny Pacquiao, recognized by everyone as the best fighter in the world. Some say that Manny might be taking it a step too far. Yesterday, I was in synagogue and read the story of David and Goliath and we all know who won that fight. From New York to Los Angeles, at every one of the six stops of this tour, I know that there will be more Filipinos at those press conferences than any one else. (To the crowd) Tell your cousins, your aunts and your uncles to come out and cheer for Manny Pacquiao. Today you have gotten a little taste of the passion this fight is going to bring. At Top Rank, we have one abiding principle; we dont put fighters in fights that we dont think they can win and this fight is no exception. Sometimes they lose thats the nature of the sport, but going into it we dont put anyone in that we dont think can win. Ross Greenburg, President of HBO Sports I would like to personally thank Oscar de la Hoya and Manny Pacquiao for being such an important part of our history at HBO. When fights like this are made, it is really boxing putting its best foot forward. Bob Halloran, Vice President of Sports, MGM Grand/Mirage We at MGM have been holding the December 6th date for something special and with De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao, we got our wish. Nacho Beristain, De La Hoya Trainer I want to thank Golden Boy Promotions for making me a part of Oscar de la Hoyas team. I am going to work as hard as possible to bring a victory to Oscar and to America. I read an article that says I am getting a lot of money to give Oscar water and wash his mouth pieces. I can tell you I am very proud to have worked with 16 champs, to have given them water and washed their mouth pieces and I am happy to do it for the seventeenth. Michael Konz, Pacquiao U.S Advisor When we got the call about this fight, I thought about Oscar being four inches taller and probably 15 pounds heavier than Manny and we did our best to talk many out of this fight. We said it was going to be too dangerous for Manny to fight Oscar, but two things happened, when Manny is faced with something people say he cant do, he automatically wants to do it. The other is that he only fears one person and that is the Lord himself, so he told us to do what we had to do to have the fight. Manny is not doing it for money he is doing it for the Philippians and pride. The only person that can beat Manny Pacquiao is Manny Pacquiao himself. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao Trainer This is a big one. I had a opportunity to train Oscar against Mayweather and I learned a lot during that period, and now I am going to use it against him. I know his strengthens and his weakness can he still pull the trigger? I dont know, we will find out. DE LA HOYA VS. PACQUIAO CHICAGO PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES SEARS TOWER Thursday October 2, 2008 Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao continued the Dream Tour in Chicago at the Sears Tower, the tallest building in the United States. Both fighters began their day in the Windy City at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange where they were bombarded with hundreds of employees on the Agriculture and Finance floors. As the fighters walked through the crowds, it gave them an opportunity to interact with their fans. Next stop the press conference at the Sears Tower with the spectacular view of Chicagos skyline serving as a backdrop. Both De La Hoya and Pacquiao assured media in attendance that come December 6 they will be ready for the fight of the year. Oscar De La Hoya Whoever thought I could be in Chicago at the tallest building in the country? And Manny, did you ever dream you would be fighting me? This is what this fight is all about. It is not every year you get this type of event. That the whole world is talking about. Bob Arum has me worried, I will make sure there are no sling shots and rocks at the fight for him to beat me up with, as David beat Goliath. To have this challenge in front of me, of fighting the best fighter in the world, is just motivation. I know Manny is coming to fight and I am going to be there to fight as well. December 6, you will watch the most explosive fight. Manny Pacquiao This fight will be great on December 6. It will be history for me to win and give the honor to my country. I believe that I have all of the Filipino people behind me. I will do my best to make people happy. I am training very hard. Richard Schaefer, CEO Golden Boy Promotions Manny Pacquiao is a young and fast lion that knocks people out. Oscar de la Hoya is a ten-time world champion who is trying to get back to the top. Bob Arum, Chairman of the Board, Top Rank Inc This morning at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Manny was very excited because he is very into being with people and with the fans. He asked to take a tour, and waved to his fans from beginning to end. Many people have said to me that Manny is smaller than Oscar. I respond with you do not understand the history of boxing. There have been great fighters in the past who do this all of the time. Mark Taffet, Senior Vice President of HBO Pay-Per-View & HBO Sports For well over a decade, Oscar has taken on the biggest boxers in the sport. He never backs down, always wanting to fight the big ones. Nacho Beristain, De La Hoya Trainer I can assure you that December 6 you will see a great fight with the best fighters in boxing. We as a team are working hard to make sure that Oscar wins. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao Trainer I have had an opportunity to train both of these great fighters. Oscar trains hard and Manny is a machine. The advantage Manny has is that this is his fourth fight this year, and it has kept him in shape. He will win this fight. DE LA HOYA VS. PACQUIAO HOUSTON PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES SPACE CENTER HOUSTON Friday October 3, 2008 (morning) In the state where football is king, the throne was vacated for a day as the Dream Tour made the first of two Texas stops at Space Centre Houston. Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao took center stage and posed for the crowd with the Space Center Houston mascot astronaut. The on-going drama between Pacquiao trainer Freddy Roach and the Golden Boy continued in front of a replica backdrop of NASAs Mission Control. De La Hoya prophesized that come fight night, Roachs only words for his fighter would be Houston, we have a problem. The stop in Houston was much more than just a press conference; it was a chance for the fighters to give back to the city recently ravaged by Hurricane Ike. In conjunction with the Major League Soccers Houston Dynamo (De La Hoya is part owner), De La Hoya and Pacquiao gave $10,000 to start a Hurricane Ike Relief fund and encouraged the media and fans in attendance to give in whatever capacity they can. The president of the Houston Dynamo, Oliver Luck, was in attendance to accept the donation and express his sincere appreciation for the fighters generosity. Oscar De La Hoya A fight with Manny Pacquiao, who ever dreamed of it? I never dreamt it and I am sure he never dreamt of fighting me. My trainer is predicting a knockout and my CEO is predicting a knockout. I have to head to the gym now. We fighters know that this is going to be one heck of a fight. I know Manny Pacquiao comes forward and fights. He is younger and faster. For someone who is 35 years old, I have a lot of homework to do. I have to be in great shape. This is one of those fights that the whole world will be talking about. The whole world will wait with anticipation. We have to give one of those performances that people will like watching. Freddie Roach has been talking about how I cannot pull the trigger. (To Roach) I am going to get you Freddie! And yes he (Freddie Roach) knows me as a fighter. And yes I know Freddie too. I know what he is going to say in the corner to Manny. He is going to say Houston, we have a problem! Manny Pacquiao Dec 6th is going to be a great, great fight between Oscar and me. Everybody knows that I dont want people to be disappointed. I have to train hard this fight to make people happy. I am going to win the fight. It is going to make history in boxing. Richard Schaefer, CEO Golden Boy Promotions Houston has become our home away from home. It is always great to come back here. The Space Center in Houston is a landmark of dreams. It took many dreams to send people to space. I know that the city of Houston has gone through some devastating times in the last few weeks. We are starting a hurricane relief fund together with the Houston Dynamo. Both of the fighters have started the fund with an initial $10,000 donation. Our hearts go out to those who were affected by the hurricane and I hope this is one of the first of many donations. Dec 6th is about two careers, two great fighters, two guys who only know one thing and that is going forward. You want to make sure that you dont want to miss it. Bob Arum, Chairman of the Board Top Rank Inc. These donations are very important. The essence of being a good American and a good citizen is that we help our neighbors and our brothers. This is something that we all owe to our fellow citizens. We hope you will tell your friends to contribute and help our neighbors with their trouble. Why is this fight getting the attention that it is? It is obvious to me. It matches the most popular fighter in the world, Oscar De La Hoya; who has thrilled so many audiences for so many years against the pound for pound best in the world. That alone will be enough to excite most fans. I too am excited to be in Houston, so you can catch some essence of what this event is about. It was in this town that the George Forman Grill was announced, and George really cleaned up! Take our guy because our guy is going to win. We will see what happens on December 6, but we are going into this fight with extreme confidence and enthusiasm. Mark Taffet, Senior Vice President of HBO Pay-Per-View & HBO Sports For the sport of boxing, it is critical that at least once a year there is a match up that truly transcends the sport; something that has everyone talking and everyone buzzing. De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao is that fight. I am happy to say that all 18 of Oscar De La Hoyas Pay-Per-View fights have been on HBO. While the indoor is sold out, 70 million seats are still available in the electronic area, in your homes on HBO Pay-Per-View. Nacho Beristain, De La Hoya Trainer Dec 6 is going to be a very important date for Oscar De La Hoya and our team. We are going to stop the Manny Pacquiao train. We are going to derail him. Manny Pacquiao is going to be over on December 6. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao Trainer This is a big fight. When I heard about it I didnt think it would happen at first. I think this fight is a big fight money wise, but it is not about that. It is what it does for Manny Pacquiao as a super star. I had the opportunity to work with Oscar De La Hoya. We had a good fight against Mayweather. I keep hearing that Oscar is too big for Manny. That is not what is going to win this fight. What is going to win it is speed, speed and speed. Oliver Luck, President of the Houston Dynamo We would like to thank the fighters for these initial donations. Our residents have lost a lot in the recent past and we appreciate your generosity. DE LA HOYA VS. PACQUIAO SAN ANTONIO PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES THE ALAMO Friday October 3, 2008 (afternoon) Thousand of fans came out on a hot sunny day in San Antonio to see their heroes, Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao, stand in front of the Alamo and announce their upcoming December 6th fight. De La Hoya and Pacquiao shared the energy of the Alamo as the fans equally cheered for both fighters during the fourth of six stops of the press tour. At a place engulfed with history, De La Hoya encouraged everyone to remember the Alamo by promising a knock out. The fighters displayed their appreciation for the fan turn out labeling San Antonio the best stop thus far on the tour. In addition to the dynamic and enthusiastic throng of supporter, a special moment took place when the fighters announced a $10,000 donation to Oscar Diaz, accepted by his sister, Theresa Zdunczyk, who attended the press conference. Diaz who is slowly recovering from a brain injury he sustained in his last bout was acknowledged by crowd and the entire boxing community in attendance during this heartfelt time of remembrance. Oscar De La Hoya It is always overwhelming being in San Antonio, I remember fighting here and these are the best fans. I have all these people saying that I am fighting the young, fast, champion fighter, this kind of fight is what gets me going and makes me want to prove everyone wrong especially Freddie Roach. My heart will always be in San Antonio. This is the city I met my beautiful wife, but come December 6 I am going to knock you out, Manny and why do I say this here? So you can all remember the Alamo. Manny Pacquiao I would like to first thank God for good health and also thank all of the fans here today without you guys here we are not here. It will be a great fight and I will do my best, I love to fight and I promise you will not be disappointed, dont miss it. Richard Schaefer, CEO Golden Boy Promotions Of all the cities we have been in so far this is by far the best. The Texans fought for independence and they won it here, this fight will not be about independence but about their fans and pride for their countries. Bob Arum, Chairman of the Board, Top Rank Inc. If the battle of the Alamo had been postponed forty years, the Texans would have won because there would be more Filipinos and they know how to fight the best. A lot of people are saying Manny is so much smaller than Oscar how is he going to win? In boxing history, lightweights have come up and won. It is not the size of the fighter but the heart. Mark Taffet, Senior Vice President of HBO Pay-Per-View & HBO Sports The last time we were in San Antonio was in 1999 when Oscar fought Trindad. I have to tell you after seeing this turnout, it will not take us nine years to come back. Nacho Beristain, De La Hoya Trainer On December 6, the son of two Mexicans is going to win for them. He is going to win for all of the Mexicans. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao Trainer Oscar, good luck you are going to need it. Theresa Zdunczyk, Oscar Diazs Sister Thank you Oscar and Manny for this donation. Last night when we told Oscar goodbye, he raised his arm and waved which may not seem big to you, but it is huge for us. Thank you again. DE LA HOYA VS. PACQUIAO SAN FRANCISCO PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE Saturday October 4, 2008 As the dream tour continued west, the temperature wasnt the only thing rising. The sun broke through the clouds as the press conference loomed behind the venue overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge just as tempers began to flare up as trainer Freddy Roach finally fired back to the De La Hoyas claims that he would not only defeat Manny Pacquiao, but knock the pound-for-pound champion out. Sticking by his claims that De La Hoya could no longer pull the trigger in the ring, Roach pulled a toy gun from a bag and told De La Hoya it must be his because the gun had a faulty trigger. Pacquiaos presence in San Francisco drew the largest contingency of Filipino fans of any stop along the tour. Over a thousand fans waited in line hours before the press conference began to get a glimpse of their heroes and were not left empty handed. Both fighters appreciated the turnout and stayed long after the conclusion of the press conference to sign autographs and pose for pictures. Oscar de la Hoya We have been traveling to all of the major landmarks and right now we are standing here with the Golden Gate Bridge behind us. I can say I am very proud to be a Mexican American and I am proud to live my dream. This is what this fight is all about. Manny, on December 6 I want you to be ready like you always are fight hard, but dont come to me saying I left my heart in San Francisco. All of the fans are making this event the biggest in boxing, I will see you on December 6 for the war. Manny Pacquiao Oscar, you say to remember the Alamo but I dont even know the story behind the Alamo. What I can say is dont just say you can do it, just give me a good fight on December 6. Bob Arum, Chairman of the Board, Top Rank Inc. In Houston, I said that Filipino women are the best looking and on the other hand they said that the Mexican women are the best looking. We are going to search for four of the most beautiful Filipino women and four most beautiful Mexican women and bring them to Las Vegas. Thursday night of fight week we are going to pick the winner and it will be announced at the weigh in. As it said here in San Francisco, make love not war, we will see you at a war. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao Trainer I love it here and its great to be here. Oscar, I found this gun and I cant pull the trigger it must be yours, Manny can pull the trigger and would love to do your retirement party. Nacho Beristain, De La Hoya Trainer I wanted to say that I am very disappointed in Freddie, he has lost all ethics and respect, Oscar couldnt pull the trigger because Freddie couldnt teach him how. DE LA HOYA VS. PACQUIAO LOS ANGELES PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES THE WHITTIER BOULEVARDARCH IN EAST LA Saturday October 4, 2008 On the final day of a press tour spanning five national landmarks, De La Hoya returned to his own historical landmark and with pride hosted Manny Pacquiao for the final press stop in East Los Angeles, CA. Standing under the Whittier Boulevard Arch, a true symbol for the East LA neighborhood, the fighters spoke in front of 5,000 fans, mostly there for De La Hoya, who came out to remind their favored son that he is incredible success story and a well-respected icon for the community. De La Hoya and Pacquiao were joined on stage by local radio personality Piolin and emcee actor/comedian George Lopez. Speaking to the hometown crowd, De La Hoya displayed his gratitude by addressing the audience first in Spanish. Almost 3,000 tacos were distributed by Porkys on Whittier Blvd. as the Golden Boy extended an invitation for the crowd to enjoy lunch on him. Oscar De La Hoya We have been traveling all over the country stopping at all historic landmarks, Statue of Liberty, Sear Tower, the Alamo, Space Center who ever thought we would land on the moon, Golden Gate bridge, and now ending it in East LA because this is our historical landmark. This is home to me and will always be home to me. See you there December 6, it will be a great fight, I love you and I will take East LA to my grave. Manny Pacquiao You all have the right to dream, but I will tell you that only God knows who will win, I will do my best to make you happy. Richard Schaefer, CEO Golden Boy Promotions A billion Mexicans in the world will be supporting Oscar. Everyone from Mexico will be behind him. Bob Arum, Chairman of the Board, Top Rank Inc. I sort of feel the way that John McCain would feel in Harlem. There are nine million Filipinos in the world that are backing Manny Pacquiao. There are also a lot of Mexicans that will be backing Manny as well. Mark Taffet, Senior Vice President of HBO Pay-Per-View & HBO Sports This is an unbelievable turnout for the first time in his neighborhood and it is beautiful to see you all here to support him (De La Hoya). Freddie Roach, Pacquiao Trainer Manny started training today and I hear Oscar will be starting tomorrow, we will see you on the 6 and let the best man win.

Got to feel several poles which was useful. These ones have proven very useful but only got tips on their use once on a trek and not in the shop in London (e.g. extend them further when going downhill). Staff were considerate but less forthcoming on what to look out for-- probably hesitant to appear too directive? |

Was undecided which poles to buy in the Preston shop, but had some great advice from the staff, who thoroughly explained the benefits of these and so decided to buy them. They're light, easy to adjust, and comfortable to handle and use. Make hill walking that much more easier on the knees, as well as giving my arms a workout too! |

I got a call from Santa's elves recently, and it turns out a lot of good boys and girls (older than 21, of course) are asking for things like muddlers, cobbler shakers, ice picks, and other items "mixology" related. While these things are great to have and pretty essential for your home bar, they will not provide the joy you hoped for if you don't know how to use them or what to make with them. That's why a good cocktail recipe book is a great thing for beginning mixologists. But which one?
One of the "rediscovered" classics, loaded with quaint Anglo-Saxon wordsmithing? A newer one with beautiful full-color photos but lame original drinks, soon to be forgotten? No, I say go for The Craft of the Cocktail by Dale DeGroff. It's a great essential that tells you enough, but not too much. It explains all the fundamentals, so you can make a classic cocktail correctly while also understanding how to tweak recipes and make something original. It's the gift that keeps on giving—when you visit the giftee in the future, your holiday spirit will be buffered by well-chosen and prepared spirits.

Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad on Tuesday announced his decision to formally withdraw support to the government, protesting against the adoption of the Women's Reservation Bill in the Rajya Sabha.
Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh, who too had threatened to do so, however, was evasive on the issue. When journalists persisted with their questions, he said he would inform the media when he took a decision in this regard.
Mr. Prasad said he would call on President Pratibha Patil and submit his letter to her on Wednesday.
The RJD has four members in the Lok Sabha and had extended outside support to the UPA government.
Reacting to the suspension of seven members in the Rajya Sabha and the adoption of the Bill, the RJD chief and his SP counterpart charged that those evicted included four Muslim MPs.
The RJD and the SP chief, along with JD(U) president Sharad Yadav, told journalists that they met the Prime Minister earlier in the day but did not accept his suggestion that they allow the passage of the Bill in the Rajya Sabha and that their concerns would be addressed when the Bill is taken up for consideration in the Lok Sabha.
"Democracy stifled"
They charged that the Bill was taken up for discussion all of a sudden even without taking the allies into confidence. They alleged that democracy was being stifled, with the Rajya Sabha being turned into a fortress and paramilitary personnel posted as marshals.
The leaders said several Muslim delegations called on them, expressing their concern over the Bill as it denied them their due.
These leaders held a series of talks with Railway Minister and Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee, who too had underlined her opposition to the Bill.
Mr. Sharad Yadav is said to have mooted the idea of sponsoring a no-confidence motion against the government and reportedly Mr. Prasad and Mr. Singh seemed to agree with him on the issue.
But the fact remains that the split in the JD(U) over the issue came to the fore, with five members voting in favour of the Bill in the Rajya Sabha, and Mr. Yadav and his supporters openly opposing it in the Lok Sabha.

Chemikiller Evilspeak : The Passion of the Antichrist Autopsy Kitchen Records 2006 |
Very much borrowing from the Venom playbook, Chemikiller plays the "it's so old-school that it might be tongue-in-cheek" brand of metal that 3 Inches of Blood and Goat Horn have been reviving. The production is god awful, the lyrics are ridiculous as well as satanic, and the musicianship could probably be cranked out by a competent eight grader, but Evilspeak,... Read More » |
Darkness Eternal Misanthropic Annihilation Autopsy Kitchen Records 2006 |
Being one of the few one-man metal bands to actually display talent on more than one instrument, Darkness Eternal is the sole work of George Velaetis, who started the band nearly a decade ago. Many of the 9 songs here have an underlying vibe similar to "Formulas Fatal..."-era Morbid Angel, with a healthy dose of New York death metal adding... Read More » |
Diagnose: Lebensgefahr Transformalin Autopsy Kitchen Records 2007 |
This is the newest project of former Silencer vocalist Nattramn. I don't know the back story or anything about Silencer but apparently Nattramn was committed to an asylum which broke up the band. This album is supposed to be part of his recovery. This actually explained a lot because this is a very disturbed record. There... Read More » |
Ensepulchred The Night Our Rituals Blackened the Skies Autopsy Kitchen Records 2006 |
Lo-fi, slow, synth driven, ambient black metal reminiscent to the first few Limbonic Art records, Ensepulchred presents a concept that's interesting in theory but fails miserably in practice. Non-existent guitars, poorly programmed drum machine, shitty vocals, and amateurish songwriting make The Night Our Rituals Blackened the Stars sound like it was written by a group of suicidal teenagers with a...

Octagon [US] Artisans of Cruelty Autopsy Kitchen Records 2006 |
Masochistic black hate metal, Octagon bring to the table dirty, tough black metal seeking to rip out the innards of the lesser (wo)man. Recorded with the intensity of rubbing a hunk of granite across a nuns asscheeks, Artisans of Cruelty is blunt and muddy, and ready to explode. With lyrics like Who are you to contemplate?

Silencer (SWE) Death - Pierce Me Autopsy Kitchen Records 2006 |
Swedens Silencer quite possibly can be credited as being a major proponent of the current dredge of deeply melancholic/suicidal black metal, as well as most notably Xasthur and Leviathan, with this, their 2001 opus of shrieking ghost vocals, draining razor-wire guitars and somber, lucid piano and despondent acoustic interludes. The beginning of the 11 minute title track reeks of a... Read More » |
Stalaggh :Projekt Misanthropia Autopsy Kitchen Records 2007 |
My advice to you is to not pop this disc into any music player expecting any form of music whatsoever. Or maybe you should, if you like to be shocked and proven wrong.

Stalaggh Nihilistik Terror Autopsy Kitchen Records 2006 |
This album is fucking nonsense. Over an hour of screams and weird noises, and we call this music? Pardon me, but what Stalaggh is doing is not music, it is an aural assault (although that sounds like a positive thing).

PRINTING DATA TABLES, the best way is to open the Printable Version / Entire Report and print either the entire report or selected pages. To view the entire report, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader. Get it Free by clicking
You may also print directly from your web browser. This will work fine, however, there are a few things you should be aware of:
First, most of the data tables were scanned and are setup for landscape printing. You may want to set you browser (Explorer 5.0) in page setup for landscape or your print driver (Netscape 2.0 and higher) to landscape before attempting to print. Netscape has a print preview that allows you to see what the output will look like before you print.
Second, If you print a page and find line of text is cut off the right side of the page, your print font is to big and needs to be reduced. In Netscape this can be done by going to [Options] [General Preferences] [Fonts] and reducing the point size of the font. Explorer users will find this easier, just click on the font button on the button bar to change font sizes. These font size changes are carried through to printing.
In the event you find printing from your browser difficult, (don't feel bad most people do) you can easily save the data table to file by selecting ([File] [Save As] for Netscape) or ([File] [Save as File] for Explorer) to save the text file. This file can now be loaded by most programs. Once in a word processor you can now adjust margins, page length or font size (the Reports are printed in Lineprint 8 pt. Font)to get a good printout.
If you don't want to save a file you can also use the copy paste feature of windows to copy the tables into a word processor or spreadsheet. To select all the text, you can press [Ctrl + A]. Copy the table with [Ctrl + Insert]. Go to your word processor and paste with [Shift + Insert]. Your table will be pasted to your word processor. No tabs are used in any of the tables and if you select a pitch font in your word processor the columns should line up.

Toss individual health insurance mandate, poll says
In this poll:
Most Americans want the Supreme Court to invalidate at least part of the landmark health-care law that was passed in 2010, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
- Part 1: Poll: Few in U.S. sense Afghan support for war
- Part 2: As gasoline prices rise, Obama's ratings fall
- Part 3: Congress remains deeply unpopular, poll finds
- Part 4: Poll: Voters want super PACs to be illegal
- Part 5: Iranian threat: Public prefers sanctions over bombs
- Part 6: Rick Santorum's faithful value religion and politics, poll shows
- Part 7: Toss individual health insurance mandate, poll says
Poll Questions
Q: Changing topics: Overall, do you support or oppose the federal law making changes to the health care system? Do you feel that way strongly or somewhat?
No opinion
Q: Have the things you've heard about this law recently been mainly (positive) or mainly (negative)?
Q: The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments about the health care law later this month. Of these three options, which would you prefer to have the Supreme Court do? Uphold the entire law, throw out the part of the law that requires individuals to have coverage, and keep the rest of the law, or throw out the entire law (options randomized)..
Q: (IF THROW OUT PART OF THE LAW) What if removing the coverage requirement forces the rest of the law to be dropped because there's no way to pay for it. In that case would you prefer to...?

Moreover, reasoned analysis of the superficial nature of these structural similarities has very little influence over the fear center of the brain and seldom dissipates the power of the fearful memory. Yet the fear center has incredible influence over the reasoning process and also over the way memories are shaped. As UCLA research psychologist Dr. Michael Fanselow describes, "The available evidence suggests the amygdala learns and stores information about fear-arousing events but also modulates storage of other types of information in different brain regions" (emphasis added). When human beings developed a higher order of thinking, we gained an advantage in being able to anticipate emerging threats. We gained the ability to conceptualize threats instead of just perceiving them. But we also gained the ability to conceptualize imaginary threats. And when groups of people are persuaded to conceptualize these imaginary threats, they can activate the fear response as powerfully as would real threats.
This ability to conceive of something that activates the amygdala and starts the fear response is particularly significant because of another important and closely related phenomenon, called "vicarious traumatization." If someone, such as a family member or an individual with whom we identify has experienced trauma, that person's feelings can be communicated to us even though we didn't directly experience the traumatic event.
Recent research proves that the telling of traumatic stories to those who feel linked by identity to the victims of trauma -- whether the shared identity is ethnic, religious, historical, cultural, linguistic, tribal, or nationalistic -- can actually produce emotional and physical responses in the listener similar to those experienced by the victims. Indeed, physiologists have recently discovered a new class of neurons, called "mirror neurons," that create a powerful physical capacity for empathy. Dr. Ramachandran described the startling significance of this new finding to me:
It has long been known that neurons in this region (a part of the brain called the anterior cingulate that receives a major input from the amygdala) fire when you poke the patient to cause pain—so they were called "pain sensing neurons" on the assumption that they alert the organism to potential danger -- leading to avoidance. But researchers in Toronto found that in human patients some of these cells responded not only when the patient himself was poked with a needle -- as expected -- but also fired equally when the patient watched another patient being poked. These neurons (mirror neurons) were dissolving the barrier between the "self" and others -- showing that our brains are actually "wired up" for empathy and compassion. Notice that one isn't being metaphorical in saying this; the neurons in question simply can't tell if you or the other person is being poked. It's as if the mirror neurons were doing a virtual reality simulation of what's going on in the other person's brain -- thereby almost "feeling" the other's pain. (I call them Dalai Lama cells.)

GRANBY - A 1998 graduate of Granby Junior-Senior High School has been charged by law enforcement officials in Pennsylvania in connection with the abduction and rape at gunpoint of a 14-year-old girl an eastern Pennsylvania motel.
Police have alleged that Derek Bengtsson, 27, kidnapped the girl around 1:20 a.m. Tuesday, shackled and raped her in a motel room in Stroudsburg, Pa., where he had a standoff with police. The report states that Bengtsson later opened fire on police before they arrested him.

Hakeem urges Muslims to support peace process[TamilNet, Sunday, 07 April 2002, 18:18 GMT]"We should give no room for the accusation that the Muslim sabotaged the peace talks. We should not let this opportune moment for peace be scuttled," said Mr.Rauff Hakeem the leader of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) and a Minister in the United National Front (UNF) government, addressing a seminar Sunday at Trincomalee Zahira Maha Vidiyalyam.
Mr Rauff Hakeem further said that, " there are forces that want to disrupt the peace process. We should give them no excuse to pass the blame on the Muslims." "The time has come for the Muslims of the South to help their northeastern brethren realise their political aspirations," added Mr.Rauff Hakeem.

Minimum Stay | 2 nights |
This 1 bedroom apartment is an ideal alternative to a hotel with a fully furnished interior and attention to detail; you will enjoy proximity to Providence Place, the capital, train station, many colleges, and easy highway access to Boston. Located in a quiet neighborhood on the 3rd floor of a 3 family home.
Large backyard, off street parking, and fully equipped living space. Amenities include: Queen-sized Platform bed, fully equipped kitchen, microwave, coffee brewer, window fans, fresh sheets and towels, and blow dryer. There is an air mattress as well if this is necessary for extra guests.
Walking distance and convenient access to providence place, the capital, train station, i-95, colleges, hospitals, and parks. 40 minutes to Boston, Newport, Judith point (access to block island); 75 minutes to Cape Cod and southern New Hampshire.
Strong-willed (read: type a) female with an entrepreneurial soul, but aiming to effect positive change within the constraints of 'corporate'; happily married with four beautiful daughters and two incredible dogs (all with boundless energy). We love to travel and i have seen the world. Our next destinations include puerto rico (again), spain, and scotland. I am a super clean, organized, and respectful guest; as a host i aim to be the epitome of hospitable, but aim to continuous improve my service offering. I am here to be a vessel of positive and lasting change in this world.
Erica & Leo Wagner purchased this apartment in 2005
The business model as a 'standard rental' was not conducive to a long range business plan. Short-term rentals to vacationers and the short-term tenant seemed to make more sense with all that providence and the surrounding geographies had to offer.
We aim to please, if only in the small details!

I've always loved the work of Barcelona based illustrator, Conrad Roset. His erotic muses are ever-changing though stylistically his work is always recognizable, with their inked simplicity and rosy lips and knees. The innocence he portrays in minimal provocative poses gets me every time. His new collection of female figures, from early 2012 prove to be no different, thank you Conrad.

Title: | Mechanisms of Corrosion Inhibition of AA2024-T3 by Vanadates |
Creators: | Iannuzzi, M.; Frankel, Gerald S. |
Keywords: |
polarization curves adsorption isotherms decavanadates |
Issue Date: | 2007 |
Citation: | Iannuzzi, M.; Frankel, G. S. "Mechanisms of Corrosion Inhibition of AA2024-T3 by Vanadates," Corrosion Science, v. 49, 2007, pp. 2371-2391. |
DOI: | 10.1016/j.corsci.2006.10.027 |
Abstract: | The mechanisms of corrosion inhibition of AA2024-T3 by vanadates were studied using chronoamperometry, polarization curves and adsorption isotherms. The electrochemical behaviour of clear solutions containing metavanadates and orange solutions containing decavanadates was clearly distinctive. Metavanadates reduced the kinetics of oxygen reduction to an extent similar to chromates. Corrosion inhibition of AA2024-T3 by metavanadates was very rapid and it might occur by the formation of an adsorbed layer. Reduction of clear metavanadate solution was very slow. Approximately 35 min were required to develop a monolayer of a reduced vanadate species. The adsorption of the inhibitor likely blocked reactive sites on intermetallic particles, discouraging the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Adsorption of the inhibitor on the Al matrix could also displace Cl- ions, increasing the stability of the passive film and reducing the breakdown of S-phase particles. In contrast, decavanadates were shown to be poor inhibitors of the ORR. A sharp current spike was observed after injection of decavanadates for both Cu and AA2024-T3 at various applied cathodic potentials. Integration of the current peaks suggested the formation of several monolayers of a reduced vanadate species. The formation of several monolayers was in line with the poor performance of decavanadates as inhibitors of AA2024-T3 corrosion. |

[[caption-width-right:330:Cleaning up this galaxy, one plastic criminal at a time.]]
->''"From the freshest Konstabel to the most respected Oberst, Patrol officers are a true BandOfBrothers. Theirs is a lonely duty, served far from home and family. But someone must guard the hearthfires."''
-->-- '''''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}} TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}''''', ''Sword Worlds''
Quite simply, an organization of peacekeepers [[RecycledInSpace in outer space]].
This is not the same as a Starfleet-style fleet of ships. For one, those usually exist for the purposes of exploration and/or war; for another, Space Police tend to work in small groups and have a certain jurisdiction. In other words, it's much like the difference between the real police and the military.
Where they get that jurisdiction from, though, is often different. They're more likely to be part of a huge, galaxy-spanning organization, and are often more of an elite force than just regular policemen. They may not even answer to the government.
Adding to the aforementioned "elite force" feel, they may have some kind of [[AppliedPhlebotinum exclusive technology]] that can only be manufactured in limited amounts, or an ability that only certain individuals can use.
Sometimes, the space police is introduced to the plot unexpectedly, especially if it takes place on a planet that is yet to discover other space-faring civilizations (read: PresentDay Earth). In this case, the space police, while preferring to not interfere with local affairs, intervenes as a sudden external force in matters that they deem to have interplanetary if not interstellar consequences. In addition in the typical SuperHero universe, they are the ones who can take powerful alien criminals into custody after they are defeated without upsetting the status quo of Earth having to deal with such criminals.
See also SuperCop, TimePolice, and SuperheroesInSpace.
[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* The Galaxy Police in the ''TenchiMuyo'' series. They've got their jurisdiction from the [[TheFederation Galaxy Union]]. It's a loose alliance of the most influential nations around, mainly humans (in the form of a couple of rival empires) and wau -- a race of large antropomorphic felines.
* Haruko from ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' claims to be a member of some interstellar peacekeeping organization, but it's never clear whether this is truth or just another layer of cover story.
** She ''is'' there to catch [[spoiler:Atomsk]], apparently, but it's doubtful any agency would approve of her other activities.
* The Intra-Solar System Police (ISSP) from ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' is basically an extension of Interpol extended to the entire solar system. Much like Interpol, they technically have jurisdiction everywhere, but cannot exercise that jurisdiction without permission from the sovereign governments or local police forces. This generally means that bounty hunters like the crew of the ''Bebop'' are called upon to catch those that slip through the cracks and bring them to ISSP custody.
* The Time-Space Administration Bureau (TSAB) plays this role in ''Anime/LyricalNanoha'', unexpectedly intervening in Nanoha and Fate's clash in the first season and becoming regulars (and their [[StayWithTheAliens employers]]) later.
* Unified Public Security Agency, [[spoiler:Ryouko's organization]], in ''Magna/KemekoDeluxe'' is similar to TSAB.
* Many of the earlier ''BraveSeries''' HumongousMecha belonged to some kind of space police force.
* Part of the series premise of ''Anime/BirdyTheMighty'' is that the title character is an intergalactic police officer.
* ''{{Planetes}}'' has the Orbital Security Agency (OSA). It is a fairly realistic take on how an actual real-life space police could function.
* The Universe Patrol Squad in ''Anime/{{Doraemon}}''. They also have a TimePolice division.
* The Planetary Defense Organization from ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'', with the title character being assigned to Earth to prevent illegal exports of [[AliensStealCable entertainment media]]. She later remarks that they sometimes get backup from [[{{Series/Ultraman}} the Land of Light]].
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* From Creator/DCComics, the Franchise/GreenLantern Corps, though they're more spread-out than most, with only one Lantern for many star systems; additionally, they're independent of any government, being run by {{Sufficiently Advanced Alien}}s and their mighty power rings pack an incredibly versatile punch.
** It's been suggested that the Corps were based on the Lensmen, but the creators denied having read the stories. Later writers, however, included {{shout out}}s such as Green Lanterns named Arisia and Eddore, after the [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens Godlike alien empires]] of the Lensman novels.
** The revamped post-Rebirth Corps now has two Lanterns per sector, who are even referred to as police-style back-up. Earth actually has four Lanterns, but only two (Jordan and Stewart) operate in Sector 2814, while the others (Gardner and Rayner) are specialists based out of Oa.
** The GLC is also unusual (at least by comic book standards) in how far they take the law enforcement metaphor, having things like badges, allotments of vacation days, and specialized departments like the Alpha Lanterns who are an InternalAffairs department within the Corps. They've also been seen ''investigating'' crime like real-life detectives rather than just blasting bad guys through walls.
** Their limited number is partly justified by the fact that they tend to assist local law enforcement where feasible (eg. if Hal Jordan runs into a human supervillain, even one of his own enemies, they are more likely to be thrown in an Earth jail than an Oan one); there may be other superheroes in the area (e.g. Earth again, which has the JusticeLeague, of which Hal is a member, and many others) who at the very least can act as support, or outright allies; and because sci-fi writers ''do'' have a [[SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale sense of scale]] as the majority of star systems will likely have only one inhabitable planet, if any at all, and many won't even want or need a GL, assuming they've reached a level of technological advancement that would make one feasible in the first place. In many respects they are more like an intergalactic Interpol than a real police force, 'cept more proactive.
* In the ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' comics, there were the Science Police, who wavered from allies to antagonists between adaptations.
* In the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, the Nova Corps (which were very similar to the GLC in many ways).
** The current ''ComicBook/{{Nova}}'' series takes this and runs with it. The suggestion of Ego the Living Planet becoming a Corpsman (instantly dismissed as "crazy"; what's actually happening is a bit more complex), is a clear ShoutOut to Mogo.
* Another organization from Franchise/TheDCU, a modern-era precursor to the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes called L.E.G.I.O.N. (Licensed Extra-Governmental Interstellar Operatives Network), was founded to fill the gap left by the Green Lantern Corps after they disbanded for a short time in the late '80s. They're about halfway between a police force and a mercenary outfit, and bump heads with the Green Lanterns fairly often.
** They've also twice been taken over by villains (in the later issues of their regular book, and in a current miniseries), leading to the good guys becoming R.E.B.E.L.S.
* The Darkstars were also formed to pick up the slack when the GLC disbanded, and included a number of former Lanterns in their ranks, but their ranks slowly dwindled and the last remaining members gave their lives in a fight against an evil PhysicalGod called Starbreaker. Their name and equipment have since been appropriated by the zombie-like servants of another evil space-deity, Lady Styx.
** The 1990s ''Trinity'' miniseries (not to be confused with the more recent titles about [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce]] and [[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana]]) was essentially the G.L.C., L.E.G.I.O.N., and Darkstars in a jurisdiction dispute.
* ''Rick Random: Space Detective'' was created in the 1950's by Edward Holmes, who realized the growing popularity of sci-fi after Sputnik, but was stuck editing a detective comic. The British comic hero worked for the Interplanetary Bureau of Investigation, investigating mysteries and battling SpacePirates, {{Mad Scientist}}s and other such villains.
* The [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Thanagarian Wingmen]] (originally called the Hawk-Police). GreenArrow often calls the SilverAge Hawks "alien cops".
* Subverted in Marvel's ComicBook/{{Darkhawk}}. We have a group of intergalactic super-beings with the same costume and powers, which is usually the case with this trope when it applies to comics. It's subverted in that, instead of cops, they're actually SpacePirates.
* The current ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy has two amongst its rank:
** Star-Lord. Apparently there's only one Star-Lord, rather than a full police force. The post is currently held by Peter Quill, although the "Master of the Sun" who apparently bestows the title [[TheUnchosenOne wanted it to go to one of Quill's colleagues at NASA.]]
** Rocket Raccoon was a space cop as well before helping form the current Guardians.
[[folder:Fan Works]]
* Dul'krah, Clan Korekh, the security chief of the USS ''Bajor'' in ''Fanfic/{{Bait and Switch|STO}}'' and related fics, used to be part of the Ver Eshalakh, his species' military police. According to an {{infodump}} he gives in ''Fanfic/TheHeadhunt'' his species, which is heavily clan-based, considers the agency to be a clan unto itself that keeps the peace between the other clans.
* Kevin Rubio's ''Troops'' is a dual parody of StarWars and {{Series/Cops}}.
* Gort and Klaatu in ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill1951''. In a twist, [[spoiler:Gort (the robot) turns out to be the officer, and HumanAlien Klaatu is his assistant]]. In the short story on which the movie is based, ''Farewell to the Master,'' [[spoiler: Klaatu is only an artificial construct created to make it possible for Gort to communicate with humans.]]
* [[Franchise/StarWars Jedi Knights]] tend to have policing the galaxy as one of their regular duties (along with acting as ambassadors to political disputes and ridding the galaxy of the Sith), yet in ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', many members of said Republic seemed to labor under the assumption that "space police" apparently meant "person who is obligated to fight in wars whether they want to or not".
** A particular type of Jedi, "Watchmen", act as law enforcement on frontier worlds where there's very little if any government infastructure. In the first KnightsOfTheOldRepublic game the Jedi on Dantooine are pretty much the only law enforcement the planet has, so much so that they're swamped with trying to help the colonists and fight the Jedi Civil War with Revan's Sith; the player can help out by undertaking some missions for the populace including a murder mystery (that's also a [[spoiler: SecretTestOfCharacter]]). Corellian Jedi act primarily in their home system and work closely with the [=CorSec=], the local police force. The mainstream Jedi consider them a little odd for this, as well as for marrying and having children against the Jedi Code, but they respect them and are not against working with them on occasion.
* The bounty hunter in ''Film/PitchBlack'' leads the other crash-survivors to believe that he's a law-enforcement agent, although it's unclear whether he's pretending to be Space Police, or an officer of a planetary police force that sent him up to retrieve a fugitive.
* The ''Finders'' in ''Abraxas: Guardian Of The Universe''.
* The ''Film/MenInBlack'', though they are not in space as such and stay on Earth.
* SeanConnery's character in ''Film/{{Outland}}'' is a literal example: a US Marshal posted to a mining outpost on one of Jupiter's moons.
* The Nova Corps from the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' film.
* The Panoply in Creator/AlastairReynolds' ''Literature/ThePrefect''. They have habitat busting weapons, and high tech weaponry. However, they are severely limited in their jurisdiction; they can only enforce a person's right to vote and have a connection to the equivalent of the Internet. They have to petition the habitats to be allowed to use their weaponry, and they cannot interfere with the [[{{Cyborg}} Ultras]], who control the interstellar ships.
* The Galactic Patrol in the ''Literature/{{Lensman}}'' novels, especially the Lensmen themselves, though it's more militaristic than most examples of this trope.
* Creator/JamesHSchmitz's "Agent of Vega" series features assorted 'Galactic Agents', space-going Lone Rangers with super-cybernized spaceships as their faithful 'Silvers'. The Agents work for the Third Co-ordinator of the Vegan Confederacy and have no respect whatsoever for the {{Alien Non-Interference Clause}}.
* The Monitor Corps from James White's ''Literature/SectorGeneral'' series. Paramilitary police with CoolShips, to be sure, but at the end of they day they're still Gardai in space, and proud of it. (The Etlan War, for example, is described as a particularly widespread riot in Monitor Corps official documentation, and nobody ever uses lethal force. Ever.)
* The Special Corps from ''Literature/TheStainlessSteelRat'' consist of [[BoxedCrook former criminals who have been caught]] and are now used to catch other, more dangerous criminals or combat galaxy-spanning threats. They can call on military and government resources (usually by posing as powerful government officials with the help of forged documents). Their leader [[DaChief Inskipp]] (once a notorious criminal himself) is incensed to discover there's another secret and even more powerful organization, the Morality Corps (which enforces the moral code of humanity), and then yet ''another'' group: the [[TimePolice Time Corps]] (which protects the timeline).
* The Patrol in many of Creator/AndreNorton's science fiction stories. Also, in her ''Literature/TheTimeTraders'' series, there's speculation that the alien "Baldies" are this - at one point, the heroes wonder whether a video they found is the record of an actual case or the equivalent of a television "cop show."
* The Space Patrol in several of Creator/RobertAHeinlein's short stories (and one novel, ''Literature/SpaceCadet'').
* The eponymous organisation in the ''Literature/{{Spaceforce}}'' novels, which does pretty much what it says on the tin - a space police corps with jurisdiction over crimes that take place in space, or on space stations or anywhere else that isn't actually a planet.
* In the ComicBook/XWingSeries, part of the Frachise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse, one of the pilots was on the Corellian Security Force, essentially the police of the Corellian system. Corellia's Jedi tended to work pretty closely with them. Largely the CSF stayed within the system. The Jedi had a saying - "There is no luck, only the Force", and the CSF liked to modify it to tell criminals who chalked up being caught to bad luck - "There is no luck, only the Corellian Security Force".
* In one of the Literature/FightingFantasy gamebooks, you play a Space DEA Agent.
* The narrator of the short story [[http://abyssandapex.com/201004-black.html "The Black Sheep of Vaerlosi"]] by Desmond Warzel is a space customs agent.
* Often described as a "[[WeWillUseWikiWordsInTheFuture peacenforcer]]" in novels by Creator/HarryHarrison.
* Creator/JackVance's Gaean Reach stories used the Interworld Police Coordination Company. It started as a private firm to exchange information about criminals between planetary jurisdictions, but eventually grew to a level of authority where a senior IPCC representative felt himself justified in summarily executing several corrupt local cops.
* ''Literature/HonorHarrington'':
** The Manticoran and Andermani navies serve as this in Silesian Confederacy space, enforcing the anti-piracy and anti-slavery laws that the Silesian navy is too weak, corrupt or ineffective (which one is the case depends on the exact system in question) to enforce on their own.
** Per ''House of Steel'', the Grayson Space Navy began as the Grayson Space Guard, serving as a sort of orbital Coast Guard with little actual military capability, at least until the CivilWar started by [[TheFundamentalist the Faithful]]. Given that one of the Faithful's first moves in the war was to attack the orbital infrastructure with surface-to-space missiles, it surprised nobody to learn that the GSG decided to support the Moderate faction instead. Arguably, they began the transition from Space Police to SpaceNavy when they [[TookALevelInBadass developed the capability]] to deploy [[OrbitalBombardment Kinetic Strikes]].
** In later books, the Solarian Office of Frontier Security and the Gendarme fill this role on paper, but the are far too corrupt (along with the rest of the Solarian League) to serve as anything but imperialistic thugs.
* ''Literature/MarkDelewenAndTheSpacePirates'' has Mark encountering a Space Patrolman on the trail of a group of [[SpacePirates space pirates]].
* In ''Literature/NationOfTheThirdEye'' by K.K. Savage, two of the protagonists initially work in the Astro Police Department that operates from the dwarf planet Ceres. It is the main hub of the space mining activities in the asteroid belt that often involve sabotage or even deadly attacks by rival companies.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* The robotic "Space Filth" in ''Series/RedDwarf''.
* Gerry Anderson's ''Series/SpacePrecinct'' was a rare live action series about this, with a strong New York City feel. It didn't do so well.
** ''Series/SpacePrecinct'' was a reworking of a pilot Anderson had produced about ten years before hand called ''Space Police'', the title was changed upon learning that Lego had a toyline called Space Police (see below). The series didn't have a lot to do with this trope anyway, aside from the title; it was a fairly standard cop show [[RecycledInSpace With TACKED-ON CYBERPUNK ELEMENTS!]]
*** Aaaaand [[FreezeFrameBonus alien "Playboy" mags!]]
* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'s'' Peacekeepers were initially created to act as a neutral peacekeeping force by powerful aliens in the far distant past. Over time, they became [[ScaryDogmaticAliens interstellar fascists]].
* The series ''Space Rangers''. The premise was a 'Texas Rangers' type organization operating in space.
* ''[[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Special Police Dekaranger]][=/=]Series/PowerRangersSPD'' are a ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' version, right down to lightbars in their helmets.
** ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''/''[[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]]'' also has the Blue Senturion/Signalman, either a policeman from an alternate timeline or a an actual space cop.
* ''Series/StarCops'' was short-lived British 'hard' sci-fi series about the International Space Police Force -- nicknamed the "Star Cops" -- who provide law enforcement for the newly developing colonies of the Solar System.
* ''Series/DoctorWho''. The Judoon are mercenary police (though the Doctor derides them as "intergalactic thugs"). "The Eleventh Hour" gives us the [[StarfishAliens considerably weirder]] but even more callous Atraxi, who threatened to torch the entire planet Earth to prevent Prisoner Zero's escape.
** 25th century Earth's Adjudication Bureau get mentioned in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E4ColonyInSpace Colony in Space]]" (although the supposed Adjudicator in that story is actually the Master), and go on to play a major role in the Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures (where it's still around in the 30th).
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' ("Arena").
-->'''Kirk:''' Out here we're the only policemen around, and a crime has been committed.
** Later, Starfleet Security is shown explicitly performing roles akin to those of the FBI and US Marshals.
** Naval forces have done that sort of thing for hundreds of years. Starfleet in many ways operates like the Victorian era Royal Navy.
* The [[Series/SpaceSheriffGavan first]] [[Series/SpaceSheriffSharivan three]] [[Series/SpaceSheriffShaider shows]] in the ''Franchise/MetalHeroes'' franchise, known as the ''Space Sheriff'' trilogy, which is arguably the most recognised part of the franchise, especially the original ''Series/SpaceSheriffGavan'' series.
* Parodied in the third season of SlingsAndArrows, where [[spoiler:Ellen]]'s new job is on a show where she plays a hard edged cop... [[RecycledInSpace IN SPAAAACE!]]
* The ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' 'verse has two versions of this: the Federal Marshals ("Feds") and the Interplanetary Police ("Interpol"). The [[AllThereInTheManual RPG sourcebook]] goes into more detail than the show had time to. Interpol concentrates on tracking suspects and investigating crimes (e.g. the Alliance cruiser ''Dortmunder'' alerts them to ''Serenity's'' illegal salvage operation in the pilot), while the Feds enforce Alliance national laws and pursue criminals across interplanetary borders (they're the cops hunting Simon and River).
* ''{{Series/Babylon 5}}'': By the end of the fourth season, the Rangers have begun to fill this role, helping to keep the peace between the different members of the League of Nonaligned Worlds and later the Interstellar Alliance. Notably, they can't even get the League races to ''agree'' to this arrangement without [[GenghisGambit convincing them their borders are being threatened by a new undetectable enemy]], and the first time war looms between any of the Alliance members, the Rangers prove too thinly stretched to be able to stop both sides from shooting.
[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* Star Law in TSR's ''TabletopGame/StarFrontiers'' game and the later ''D20Modern'' system.
* In the {{GURPS}} TabletopGame/{{Traveller}} volume "Sword Worlds", the Confederation Patrol is described as sort of an interstellar coast guard for the Sword Worlds Confederation. It handles interstellar fugitives, pursues pirates and smugglers and conducts espionage and counterespionage.
** The IISS though mostly an exploration and intelligence service has units with police powers in the Imperium. Notable among these is the S3 which is kind of a "space SWAT".
* The Inquisition in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' are an [[CrapsackWorld exceedingly dark]] variation of this trope, given that they're basically the Spanish Inquisition [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE!]] [[KillItWithFire WITH FLAMETHROWERS!]]
** Inquisition is more of a StateSec. Adeptus Arbites, on the other hand, are closer to the standard understanding of what police can and must do, although they're still [[GrimDark noticeably darker than usual]] and have more limited jurisdiction -- that is, they enforce only general Imperial laws, of which there are few, leaving most to the local police. In short, they are FBI [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE]], with a healthy dose of ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' ShoutOut.
* Pictured above: one of the smallest sets from the 2009 reboot of Toys/LEGOSpacePolice, three {{LEGO}} lines of various ages devoted to this trope. In the first two runs their enemies were humans, the Blacktron faction of LEGOSpace, but the 2009 reboot had aliens as the enemy and nothing but.
** Some people like to interpret this most recent line as DarkerAndEdgier. Note that all the criminals are aliens, humans are rarely shown in poor light, and the space police are unusually heavily armed. The fact that one set is essentially a Space Pimpmobile, complete with a [[FanNickname SPACE PIMP]], just adds to the feel.
*** Your anti-human sentiments have been recorded, citizen...
[[folder:Video Games]]
* The video game ''VideoGame/{{Freelancer}}'' ups the ante not only by featuring the aptly named ''Liberty Police, Inc.'' and ''Bretonia Police'', but also by featuring the ''Liberty Security Force'', kinda like the Space FBI. Oh, and notice how the Liberty Police is a private security company!
* The Spectres in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' qualify. They are the Citadel "Special Tactics and Reconnaissance," given special rights by the Citadel Council that places them above the law and allows them to take whatever measures are necessary to ensure galactic peace. They very much subscribe to the OneRiotOneRanger philosophy, as the Citadel sending a Spectre to deal with a situation is the final option before outright ''declaring war and sending an entire fleet'' after the offending party.
** In a more broad sense, each species tend to be on their own for providing for their own security within their systems, often contracting the services of various agencies running the gamut from LawEnforcementInc to outright PrivateMilitaryContractors. For the Earth Systems Alliance, the Alliance Navy serves the role of Space Police whenever the situation warrants (usually against slavers or SpacePirates).
* ''VideoGame/EveOnline's'' CONCORD Assembly is an independent body formed by consent of the four empires. They use their own powerful proprietary technology to keep order in secure systems. Their jurisdiction is limited however, leaving most of the galaxy lawless and rather dangerous.
** Some corporations and vigilantes attempt to enforce their own brand of justice outside Concord-secured space, as well. Given that non-secured space is one of the most brutal free-for-alls in all of video game history, the actual effectiveness of their efforts is debatable.
** With the release of the Police Pursuit Comet (a Gallente frigate with police paint and blue and red lights), some players are quite literally policing the borders. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwY28rpyKDE Quite often, it's done with a snippet of Permaband's HTFU playing on repeat in the background.]]
* In ''[[VideoGame/MagicalVactation MagicalStarsign]]'', there really IS a "Space Police" in this game, but they are [[spoiler:almost completely controlled by the head villain of the game.]] Plus, the officers tend to prefer paperwork over, well, real work, and are usually pushovers in battle (or in one case, living stools for one of the bosses).
* Will exist in InfinityTheQuestForEarth, to provide safe areas called "cores".
* ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 Part 2'' has the Sexy Space Police.
* The title of ''VisualNovel/{{Policenauts}}'' refers to a group of five Earth-based policemen who were chosen to uphold law and order in the space colony Beyond Coast. They are succeeded by the Beyond Coast Police Department, which functions like a regular police department, although the actual law enforcement in the colony is carried out by the Advance Police unit, which serves as the [=BPC=]'s equivalent to a SWAT team (with [[AMechByAnyOtherName EMPS]]).
* Terran Colonial Authority in ''VideoGame/UnrealIITheAwakening''. It's a human police force in space, presumably answering to the [[TheGovernment New Earth Government]]. They can also call in the [[SpaceMarine Marines]] if things go out of hand.
* From ''VideoGame/TachyonTheFringe'', Star Patrol is responsible for keeping the peace between all the different warring megacorporations and assorted small factions. Their Enforcer starships are maneuverable, tough, and very, ''very'' well-armed. The few times where you have to tangle with them, you're strongly advised to run for the nearest [[PortalNetwork TCG]] at maximum speed. There are also a few times where they fight alongside you.
** Their cruisers are supposed to be the most versatile capital ships in known space, having the maneuverability of a frigate, the fighter-carrying capability of a carrier, and the firepower of a cruiser. They [[InformedAbility never participate in any in-game engagements]], though.
** While Star Patrol is ''supposed'' to enforce laws in all known space, they are, in practice, limited to the Solar System and parts of a single sector in the [[SettlingTheFrontier Fringe]]. Commander Alberion Obulo is determined to do his job well, though.
* The Peacekeeper Enforcer from ''VideoGame/SwordOfTheStars'' is supposed to be a space cop. He goes around and attacks anyone who has more than a certain number of ships, with larger ship classes counting as more. It goes straight to PoliceBrutality when he tries to glass colonies, though. His nickname Ortgay [[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=200284866658219&set=a.119735938046446.14741.107269765959730&type=1&ref=nf has been admitted to be a]] ShoutOut to ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill1951''.
** In later expansions, you are able to build police cutters to protect trade sectors from SpacePirates.
* Referenced in ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', where the [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Space]] [[TalkativeLoon Core]] warns the player to "Play it cool, here come the space cops".
* Comes in "Border Patrol" and your standard "Police" variants in the ''VideoGame/{{X}}-Universe'' games. They buzz about, scanning ships for contraband. [[PoliceAreUseless They have few weapons (typically just a few Impulse Ray Emitters, the peashooter weapon of choice)]], as actual combat is usually done by the Navy.
* Shooting at {{Space Station}}s and starships in ''VideoGame/NoMansSky'' is a surefire way to get these launched and hawking on you. Destroying them gives you [[GlobalCurrency Units,]] but affects their standing with you on your (unseen) AllianceMeter, making them more likely to shoot at you on sight later.
[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''WebComic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' has the irresponsible spacecop Officer Zodboink.
* [[http://spacepd.com/about.html spacepd.com]] is a site that is really only about space police on the outside, for the most part. The rest of it is random comics and art. However, the author, David Chen, did make a Kickstarter program to sell space police badges, seen [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davidtchen/space-police-badges here.]]
* WebComic/CommanderKitty has to deal with the Triple-I, a [[PoliceAreUseless ridiculously under-budget police force]] that can't even be bothered to [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2009/10/11/is-a-failure-to-communicate/ provide space suits for inmates cleaning the outside of their station]].
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "Rocket Squad"', a ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'' spoof set [[RecycledINSPACE in space]].
* The titular heroes from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers''. Frontier lawmen (and [[ActionGirl a law-woman]]) using AppliedPhlebotinum to protect law-abiding settlers from SpacePirates, TheEmpire and the occasional ForgottenSuperweapon on TheFinalFrontier.
** Another SpaceWestern example: The title characters from ''Anime/SaberRiderAndTheStarSheriffs''.
** Yet another: ''WesternAnimation/BraveStarr''. (Granted, he's only one, but even the blurb for the movie said one man is enough.)
* Mandora the Evil-Chaser from ''WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats}}''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Silverhawks}}''
* The Space Rangers in ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand''.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost Casper]] and the Angels'' is a Creator/HannaBarbera series from 1979 in which the Friendly Ghost befriends two female space police officers named Maxie and Minnie.
* The Plumbers in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'', though it is a {{Retcon}} introduced by ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'' as the original series portrayed the Plumbers as a defunct [[TheMenInBlack Men In Black]]-type organization. ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Omniverse]]'' later addressed this by saying that the organization was restarted not long after the original series and more aliens were recruited into the line-up.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Pinewood Derby", the Space Police were sent to Earth in pursuit of notorious space robber Babyfark [=McGeezak=]. [[spoiler:It's all a setup, police and criminal, to see what Earthlings do with large amounts of stolen valuables.]]
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', Centauri police arrive on Earth in pursuit of [[spoiler:Starfire's sister]].
* Meap from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' works for the Space Police.
